Sama Veda II.4.2.11: The Soma juices which have been expressed afar
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. The Soma juices which have been expressed afar or near at hand,
Or there on Saryanavan's bank,
2. Those pressed among Arjikas, pressed among the active, in, men's homes,
Or pressed among the Fivefold Tribes--
3. May these celestial drops, expressed, pour forth upon us, as they flow,
Rain from the heavens and hero strength!
